I was honestly so nervous about buying my wedding dress online because you hear so many horror stories, but this was such a relief. I ordered the custom size because I’m a bit curvy, and the fit was surprisingly good right out of the bag. The elastic satin fabric is the real MVP here—it actually stretches a little, so I could sit down and move without feeling like a sausage. The off-the-shoulder look stayed in place pretty well too, which I was worried about. I wore this for my backyard ceremony last month, and it looked way more expensive than it actually was. The train is long enough to feel dramatic but not so long that I tripped over it constantly. Just a heads up, give yourself plenty of time for shipping, but overall, I felt beautiful and saved a ton of money compared to a boutique.

The style is super classic, and those long sleeves are perfect if you’re getting married in cooler weather like I did. It’s definitely thick enough that you don’t see through it, which is great. I did have to take it to a local tailor just to nip in the waist a tiny bit because I lost some weight before the big day, but otherwise, the quality is decent for the price point. It’s not high-end designer silk, obviously, but for a budget-friendly option, it photographs really well. I got so many compliments on the mermaid shape! If you are on the fence, just measure yourself carefully and maybe steam it really well before wearing it because it arrived a bit wrinkled.
